A people without the knowledge of their
past history, origin
and culture is like a
tree without roots.

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters. The current trees were planted in 1996 by the newly formed Tree Trust for Haringey.
The Tottenham Trees logo, based on the mosaic by Hans Unger at Seven Sisters Underground Station, shows the 450 year old oak in Bruce Castle Park, the oldest tree in Tottenham. |
